Podiatry Associates P C

Although Dr. O was very nice and interested in helping me solve the problems I was having with my achilles, I felt I was overcharged for the care I received. She saw me for about 20 seconds (no exaggeration) and I ended up paying $ 270 out of pocket for a boot that didn’t end up solving the problem.
If you do make an appointment here, be sure to verify the treatment they are suggesting is covered by insurance. Also, be prepared with specific questions as you will not receive any explanations or suggestions without asking for them.

I had been suffering for many months from PF and had thrown a great deal of money at the problem to no avail. I had custom orthotics made which didn’t resolve the issue. When I went to Dr. Adam Toren I assumed it was for the last two available options; the dreaded shot or the even more dreaded surgery. Instead he introduced me to other non-​invasive techniques which totally cured the problem. I also did take his advice and replaced my old orthotics as well. He knows his stuff and I am so happy to be pain free and able to hike again in beautiful Colorado! I frequently read the PF posts on Facebook and am so relieved that I no longer suffer.

Although the medical service provided by Podiatry Assoc. is fair (not great), this medical office is probably the most disorganized and chaotic I have ever experienced. Here are just a few examples that occurred in a four month period:
* The office believed the proposed service would be authorized by insurance and would call and advise if not covered. The office never called. Service was not covered by insurance. I paid $ 500 out of pocket.
* I made an appointment made at one site, but the doctor decided to be at the other site that day. Several patients this day showed up wondering if they had mistakenly gone to the wrong office (including myself). The mistake was by the office staff in booking patients to the wrong office.
* Missing blood test results in the patient file. After some digging in other places, the office was able to find the missing results. It turns out they prescribed a medicine without confirming required blood test lab results. That is just dangerous. The bloodwork was just fine, but they did not know this when prescribing the medicine.
* An appointment was made to pick up a product and receive doctor’s counseling on use. Again, doctor was at the other office — and so was the product! A PA spent 90 seconds discussing product use so that the product could be picked up at a later date at the other office. The charge was $ 85 for this 90 second PA ‘counseling’ session.
There are four or five additional incidents of office mis-​management in the last 12 months, but I’ll spare you the details. We are now looking for a different Podiatrist.

Dr. O and her team gave me my life back. I had been battling the world’s most stubborn case of plantar fasciitis for a year and a half, gotten surgery that was unsuccessful, and was truly at the end of my rope when Dr. O and her team began treating me. She tried many more conservative methods before finally resorting to surgery again. This time it was successful! I am in shoes again and I can begin returning to the activities I love. I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone. Thank you, thank you!!!
